Please Welcome Your Host...

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to play America's favorite guessing game...



Yes, it's Well, Which One Is It?, where our contestants try and guess how San Jose power brokers really feel about issues on which they've taken both sides! Feel free to play along at home! Let's play!

(The lights lower.)

The San Jose Mercury News has been potty-training our puppies for decades. But how do they feel about backroom deals? When it's Ron Gonzales, they hate them - but when it's Chuck Reed meeting with card clubs, full steam ahead. Well, Mercury News - which one is it? (For that part, you at home are supposed to yell along. This is more fun if you're drunk.)

Then there's Chuck Reed himself. During his campaign for Mayor, gambling made him cry. But now that he realizes casinos make money, more more more! Well, Chuck Reed - which one is it?

We can't forget our old, old friend Tom McEnery, the man who discovered that bitterness can be a laxative. Yesterday on Obnoxious Blowhards, he denounced card clubs and their efforts to influence politics in San Jose, but, a tipster recalls, then-candidate McEnery himself took many contributions from card room dealers, in cash. So, Tom - which one is it?

That's all the time we have for today. Join us next time as we consider Pat Dando (does she hate negative campaigning or love it?), David Pandori (does he swear to uphold the law or to abuse it?) a return appearance by Chuck Reed (his 2006 views or 2008?) and special guest Dan Pulcrano (T or A?).

Good night, everybody!

Hotel accomodations for today's guests were provided by the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco.
